UVM Colchester Bog Natural Area boardwalk

This 0.1-mile boardwalk loop crosses through a rare boreal bog maintained by the University of Vermont as a natural area and outdoor classroom. The elevated wooden walkway keeps visitors above the fragile sphagnum mat while providing close views of carnivorous pitcher plants, Labrador tea, and black spruce adapted to acidic, nutrient-poor conditions. The short distance makes it accessible for a quick ecological tour, though the site's real value is observational rather than mileage.
